If the entire content of your tables, including the caption, needs to be set in typewriter or monospaced font, the following code (to be inserted in your document's preamble) will do the font switching for you transparently:

On the other hand, if you want only the "tabular" portion of a table (but not the caption) to be typeset in typewriter font, you're probably best off (i) inserting the command \texttt{%, on a line by itself, right before the \begin{tabular}{...} line and (ii) adding a solitary closing brace, }, immediately after the \end{tabular} instruction. Happy TeXing!

That doesn't work. When I define the precise width of a column, my compiler shows, for some reason, lots of nonexistent badboxes

@user19502: Without more details it is difficult to help you. I suggest you post a new question with a fully compilable example that reproduces the problem. You can reference this answer.
